Hi dude where did u bought the honda sticker that is placed in the undercowl?

Any sticker shop can get it done...

Really Can't make up my mind whether to go with the tricolor or the black. Waiting isn't an issue. I know looks are completely subjective and it depends on a person's personal taste but I just can't make up my mind between the two. Can anyone please help?

My vote tricolour... Not only it looks cool its unique rather than black but purely it's your choice

Cheers

How about the maintenance? On one hand the black shows scratches easily and on the other the tricolor will show mud easily. What's your take on this?

The tricolor definitely looks the part. +1 for tricolor.

Even I though white is difficult to maintain.. But weekly once wash and 2 month once wax will keep it shining... And mud is easier to clean rather than the permanent scratches on black.. My opinion white is easier to maintain tat too only a small portion as compared to full body in black

One tip: Don't let mud or dirt to settle for long time on white parts

Cheers

hye guys !

Just wondering, has any one here got a rear seat cowl ?

I am interested in getting one. The only options of getting one are asking someone to send it from south-east Asia (not really possible) or going and getting it yourself. If someone has been able to fabricate one/some other idea, then please do let me know !

Thank you for the opinions. So no one for the black one?
And although I have been reading, just wanted to know from some whether the abs is really worth it? I went for a test ride and I braked hard at about 60kmph and the bike stopped really smoothly. I doubt the abs kicked in(might have not braked hard enough I suppose) because I couldn't feel the brakes pulsing. Was it the abs?

I think there is an unpainted rear sear cowl for the cbr250r on ebay india...

ABS is actually worth it. The benefiits may not actually be felt during a TD...even I never managed to activate the ABS during the 6-odd test rides even though I pushed the TD bikes to 100+. The fact is, you need some panic braking situations on gravelly/dusty roads for the ABS to kick in. I realized the necessity of ABS only after owning the bike.

Truly, preference for colour is subjective. At the same time, cultural influences exert their pull and push on such choices.

Very frankly, I am saddened to see a marked preference for the colour black in India these days. Bikes, phones, clothes - one sees black almost everwhere. IMO, we are mindlessly aping Western mores when we discard our own brilliant reds and whites and oranges, colours so intrinsic to our nation that they have found their way into our national flag too.

In the West esp Europe, black is preferred as it is resistant to showing dirt and grime. In the cold climates of the temperate countries that make up Europe, it is a pain to clean material regularly so black is an easy way out. Very strangely, black is a business colour as well as that of mourning.

As humans, we have been gifted the ability to see this simply remarkable world in the most incredible hues, tints and shades of such colour that only the Almighty can play Holi with. And added to that is the passionate nature of the average Indian. We are an emotional people with myriad treasures in art, music, food, et al. And this extravaganza finds expression in our fantastic colours. What is the sunset without colour and it is better to die than to see a sunrise without the pinks tinting the horizon.

My bike is Candy Red. Flamboyant, energetic, young, spirited, free, warm, loving... It makes feel so alive just to see it parked there, glistening in the sunlight, winking at me, seducing me to take it for a spin.

As such, there is enough blackness in Life without having an extra bit of it in an activity I treasure.

So, black for me is almost absent in daily life...

About the ABS.

The way I see it is that I prefer as few electronic interventions in my gadgets as possible. A peculiar idiosyncrasy but that is the way it is.

Electronic safety aids like the ABS, IMO, tend to make the rider a wee bit complacent about monitoring riding conditions. They take away the intrinsic caution of the mind and place control in the hands of a box of electronics. It is infinitely preferable to be a tad overcautious on a gravelly patch than to allow electronics to intervene on what is essentially very dangerous ground.

Also, an ABS rider does not take the effort to read the road as carefully as a non-ABS chap. It is natural to think "ABS hai na" and ride on. Result? A less complete rider, with inadequate knowledge about how the bike will function on various surface conditions. What happens when such a rider rides a non-ABS bike?

I am so critical about the CABS CBR because most importantly, it cannot be switched off at will. Shucks, an autopilot which remains enabled all the while? Then what of the skills of the pilot??

My personal opinions etc.

Never thought of the cultural aspect. For me, the sole reason for choosing red was because black looked Pulsar-ish and much smaller than the actual size (personal opinion, no offence to black CBR owners). And tricolor ABS was out of stock.

Another reason for choosing red was as a tribute to the mothership VFR1200F, which is blazing red!

Hi guys I had an unexpected accident yesterday thanks to a drunken cyclist taking opposite side of the road,My right side fairing got completely damaged whether any of u know how much does the fairing cost?

Choice of color is very subjective topic. People would have their own perception for various colors. I booked a black CBR but took delivery of a tri-color ( somehow tri-color attaracted me then). IMO the black and red seems to be bigger than the tri-color. The issue with black is dust can be easily sptted on it but the plus point is black looks menacing when its clean and shines. Tri-color would draw more attention in public places than black which you will like( happens everytime with me ). So the choice is yours bro.

As for the ABS, I would suggest if you can afford that 30k go for ABS. It surely is life-saver. Will help you deal with panic situations very easily.


Sorry to hear your accident bro. I wish you will recover soon. As far as the cost of fairing is concerned please find them below as in New Delhi.
1. Side fairing - 1200INR
2. The silver/blue part fairing between side & front fairing - 375
3. Front indicators - 400INR( though you can use Stunner's indicators, both are same as confirmed from the Honda mechanic, will save u some bucks)
4. Heat shield - 700( I think, don't remember exactly).

Hope these information helps you.
